In this in-depth market edition of 9WERKS Radio, Lee and Andy sit down with Greig Daly, Sales Director at renowned independent specialist RPM Technik, to analyse exactly what is happening across the Porsche marketplace as we move from the heady summer market into autumn and winter 2026.
Rather than cooling down, select segments of the market continue to see aggressive demand and rising price ceilings. Drawing directly on live showroom data and private transactions, Greig breaks down which specific models are surging in value, why top-tier cars are defying seasonal trends, and—crucially for buyers—where the smartest value buys and modern-classic sweet spots are hiding before the spring market rebound.
Do Porsche prices always drop during autumn and winter?
While non-specialist convertibles and high-volume, average-condition cars often experience a slight seasonal softening, desirable, well-documented enthusiast models—such as manual 911s, rare paint-to-sample (PTS) examples, and Porsche GT products—regularly maintain or increase in price through winter due to limited market supply and constant enthusiast demand.
Which Porsche models are currently appreciating in value?
Modern-era analog sports cars with three pedals continue to see strong upward pressure, notably clean manual Porsche 997 Carrera S models, 996 Turbo/GT3 variants, 987 Cayman R/Boxster Spyder editions, and low-mileage naturally aspirated 991.1 GTS and GT3 RS models.
What represents the best value in the used Porsche market today?
Well-sorted, higher-mileage 987.2 and 981 Boxster/Cayman variants, early 996 Carrera 2s, and base 997.2 Carreras remain standout value propositions. They offer modern reliability, direct steering, and everyday usability at price points far lower than their air-cooled or rare GT counterparts.
